Precious Frequencies

rwinder · #1 04-02-2003, 04:36 PM

Guys:

An online vendor that sells Precious clones cheap does not post pictures or frequencies, just a drop-down box that lists the following cars:

Silver Celica
Black Celica
Red Celica
Blue Celica
Red Skyline
White SkylineR34
White SkylineR32
Blue/Silver Skyline
Yellow/Blue S2000
Silver/Red S2000
Yellow Prelude

Do you guys know the frequencies of these cars? BTW, the cars are $4.95 each and list can be found at: www.tisinc99.com/precminrccar.html

they are different frequencies on different cars they have all the same ones as on bits
the bodies dont determine the frequency

so what you're saying is one Precious is $12.00 and they ship it to you in the cheapest mail which takes between 2-6 weeks to get to you. sounds like a real bargin, if your an inmate in prison.

Well Mr IB311, you sell Precious for $13.99 plus $6.00 on your website, and that makes $19.99 total vs $12.00 for www.tisinc99.com, the company in question.

If I buy 4 Precious cars from you (at www.rcmod.com), you will charge me $55.96 plus $10.00 shipping (via your PayPal checkout) for a total of $65.96, or $16.49 a car. www.tisinc99.com charges $19.80 for 4 cars plus $9.95 shipping for a total of $29.80 or $7.45 per car.

Big difference between $16.49 vs $7.45. Does sound like real bargin, compared to your prices.

I was quoting UPS residential mailing rates. UPS usual takes 4 to 6 working days to deliver, so your 2 to 6 weeks comment is crap. tisinc99.com also has other delivery options (which are cheaper and more expensive than the ones I quoted.)

I can check web prices on you as well as www.tisinc99.com, and frankly, all I was doing is responding to Strider on shipping costs.

BTW, I don't give a s*** about www.tisinc99.com. I've bought bits, clones, motors, batteries and parts from TinyRC, QFM, Tower Hobbies, Micro-motive, Toy-Island, and Hobbytron. I doubt I will be buying from rcmod.

Actually,

1. I don't own RCmod.
2. The Precious are now only $10 and it's $6 shipping.
If you buy 4 Precious cars it would be $40 and $6 shipping. So, your total is $46.00

It's still more than you would pay at many places. You can buy cars at a swap meet for $7-8 now. You can get crap brands for like $2-3 if you look hard enough. One good thing though is RCmod will take back any cars that are broken or fix them for you.

If you really ever wanted 4 cars you could probably just email them and tell them and they would hook you up with a discount. I'm sure they would try to beat any advertised prices if it helped someone out. They are not in it for the money, they sell them to pay for their servers. They are true RC fans just like you and I and aren't interested in the mighty dollar.

That's all. And, I wasn't trying to be rude before. Please don't take offense. I was trying to be funny.

I have to apologize for my sharp comments. I had a bad day at the "orfice" and unfortunately I took some of it out on you (and on my dog).

I looked back on my email response and I sounded like a real a-hole. RCmod does some cool things like sell the mods already done, and I can appreciate that.

I wasn't selling for tsinc, just wanted to know if the colors and models cooresponded to freqs, and they don't.

Again, sorry.
